Description
The Three Horseshoes is a house from the late 18th century that has been altered. It is constructed of flint with brick dressings, while the left side is rendered and whitewashed. The roof is thatched and hipped to the left, with flanking brick chimneys. The building has two storeys and two bays. On the ground floor to the left, there is a canted bay window featuring 20th-century sashes and a hipped slate roof. The first floor has two barred wooden horizontal sliding sashes. To the right, there is a 20th-century door with flanking single lights, a wide segmental head, and a 20th-century wooden hood. There is a small barn to the right, which has been incorporated into the house; it features white-painted weatherboarding and a half-hipped thatch roof, along with two 20th-century glazed doors and a central 20th-century three-light casement. There are also 20th-century extensions at the rear of the original house. The overall appearance is picturesque.
